Proof that Pre-orders for Betas are crap! (Destiny)

I still got three extra days, and I enjoyed them. I know I'm buying the game. Unless the raid sucks (highly improbable), I know I'm going to get my money's worth (even buying special editions) compared to just about any other entertainment I could purchase for myself (except maybe used books).

I guess I understand the argument against preorders, but preorders represent a company's or game's stock in a sense. It encourages more investment in both, and I've yet to be convinced that pre-orders have contributed negatively to the quality of Bungie's games.

Except stock ownership confers benefits that preorders don't.

That's also my main beef with the otherwise very useful crowdfunding sites-- they are vehicles for investment without return and without regulation.
